I have noticed that every time I try to update a SWF file, it takes AAAAAGES to update on the webpage.
Is there any way to make the change instant…or near enough…like HTML changes?
:h:
Thanks, Benji
OK maybe not all servers but it still takes a few minutes

It could just be your browser reading the cache rather than actually reloading the page,
I think its ctril+F5 to refresh the page fully

The best solution would be to empty your cache/temporary internet files. Even pressing Refresh causes the older, cached animation to load - for me at least 🙂
Cheers!
